North Hants tyres - mail order whitewalls

Hi,

Apologies this might be old news as I'm a newbie here.

I got my Galaxy whitewall tyres from here:

Quickly delivery and the tyres feel ok - obviously I'm not hating up and down motorways on them. The ones I got actually have M + S on them which ...

Re: Official letter from a Mopar club for DVLA?

Hi Stu,

Ah that's great - thank you, I'll send Matt a PM.

Yes - well spotted! This was the model of car in Planes, Trains & Automobiles. For the movie they added a new front grille as I understand that Chrysler/Dodge didn't want their car featured recognisably.

It's the K-body platform with ...

Official letter from a Mopar club for DVLA?

Hi,

My 1983 Chrysler LeBaron was incorrectly registered as 'green/brown' when it was imported from the US into Liverpool in 2020. The VIN/body plate has the paint code as BT8 which is Dark Sable Brown/Sable Brown. Can only assume the person made a mistake...

I wrote to DVLA to get this changed ...

Welcome to the Club.

When you have a moment, take a look at our Facebook page!

All the best, Pete.


Thanks Pete - will do :) The Allpar forum (based in the US) has been really helpful with part numbers and practical advice, but I'm pleased to have found Mopar fans in the UK. I've been feeling ...

Re: New member - Chrysler LeBaron Convertible

Forgot to add - the engine is the Mitsubishi 2.6 that Chrysler needed for the front-wheel drive K-body platform. It's the engine that in the UK was in the Galant and Starion, and some fork-lift trucks apparently. :)

Re: New member - Chrysler LeBaron Convertible

Hi Steve,

It's had a lot of work - my goal is to get it into daily driver territory during the summer. Bit more to do yet. And the goal will be to fix any rust bubbles and get it into good shape for a long life.

The roof has a few holes so they need repairing for now - with a view for a new roof ...

Re: American Speedfest 2026

Hi Derek.

Is this open to non-muscle cars? I have a 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. It's not concours and couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, but Brands Hatch is quite near to me!

I could aim to get my car roadworthy by then (although some bits might be a bit tatty as it's a rolling ...

Hi all,

Just joined and wanted to say Hi!

I've got a 1983 LeBaron that I'm slowly getting properly sorted - for daily driving once summer arrives...and once the steering/suspension is sorted :working:

Here's a pic taken end of last summer.

Be interested if anyone has seen this car on here ...
